Shen Lang's mind instantly began to work, going through many plans.

"Governor Zhu Rong's younger brother, the Pingnan General, Zhu Lin!" the trusted aid replied, presenting the secret message sent from the pigeon in Nujiang.
The Earl read it through with a grim expression on his face.
To think that it was General Zhu Lin. The matter was genuinely looking bad, ah!
This meant that the Zhu Family was determined to succeed!
Asking for marriage could be done openly. However, General Zhu Lin came hurrying over in secret. He intended to catch the Palace of the Earl off guard and not give them any chance to refuse.
